Persian food

For lunch, I had Baghali Polo at zaytoon. The rice was very dry. There was butter wrapped in foil on the side, but I didnt use it. I know that could have made the rice palatable. The chicken was fine. Very yellow. To eat the pita, the grease transferred from the kabab which lied on the pita for a while was enough to smooth it down. There was a grilled tomato, but didnt give it much shot.
I liked the sound of zoolbia bamieh. I am familiar with zoolbia- jalebi.
There was tiger shrimp too on the menu.
Before lunch, we were wondering how different is Persian food from Mediterranean and loaded up on some wiki knowledge.

Chemical study of food

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
